Mirage Cove Condominiums

What Mirage Cove Condominiums's governing documents say

Mirage Cove Condominiums is a condominium community in Fountain Hills, AZ, established in 1996. You own your individual unit's interior and share ownership of the building and grounds, which the association maintains and insures with per-unit assessments. Your unit is also subject to both the condominium covenants and the Fountain Hills architectural restrictions — when they conflict, the more restrictive rules apply.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior finished surfaces, floor, ceiling, garage, and interior party walls (to half-depth). The association maintains all common elements (exterior, structure, grounds). You must maintain limited common elements allocated to your unit (driveways, patios, stoops) except covered parking spaces, which the association maintains. If you fail to maintain your portions within 30 days of written notice, the association can do the work and charge you a special assessment.
• Residential use only: Units must be used exclusively for single-family residential occupancy. No business, professional practice, or other nonresidential use is allowed, though personal professional libraries, business records, and home office work are permitted.
• Architectural review & external restrictions: Any exterior improvements or alterations visible from neighboring property require prior written Architectural Committee approval. Structural alterations within your unit require committee approval, certification from a licensed Arizona architect/engineer, and written approval from adjoining unit owners if visible from outside. Solar devices and satellite dishes visible from neighboring property are prohibited without written committee consent. You must comply with Fountain Hills Committee of Architecture rules as well; the more restrictive set applies.
• Vehicle & trash restrictions: No automobile or motor vehicle repair is allowed if visible from neighboring property; no inoperable vehicles may be stored or parked if visible from neighboring property. Trash must be in covered containers approved by the Town of Fountain Hills; incinerators and outside clotheslines are prohibited.
• Assessments & liability: The association levies common expense assessments equally against all units (each unit pays the same share). The Board adopts the annual budget without requiring unit owner approval. You are liable to the association for any damage to common elements or other units caused by your negligence or willful conduct; the association will charge you for repair costs.
• Governance & voting: Each unit has one vote in the association. During the declarant's control period (ending 90 days after 75% of units are sold or 4 years after the developer stops selling, whichever is earlier), the developer appoints the Board. After this period, unit owners elect a Board of at least three members (all must be unit owners).
• Developer's expansion rights: The developer reserved the right to expand the condominium by annexing additional property through July 1, 2006 (10 years from the declaration date). Expansion could add up to 50 additional units without unit owner consent; newly annexed units receive equal voting rights and assessment liability.
